During her current pregnancy, Loraine has been extra careful to avoid foods that could potentially cause foodborne illness. Even

though she loves Greek salad, at lunch today she had to order something else because the waiter could not confirm whether or not the feta cheese on the salad was pasteurized. Why should pregnant women avoid unpasteurized cheese?
A) Unpasteurized cheese can contain prions that can cross the placental barrier and cause foot-and-mouth disease and spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.B) Unpasteurized cheese can contain botulism spores that can cross the placental barrier and can cause botulism and spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.C) Unpasteurized cheese can contain salmonella bacteria that can cross the placental barrier and cause salmonella and spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.D) Unpasteurized cheese can contain Listeria, a bacterium that can cross the placental barrier and cause listeriosis and spontaneous abortion or stillbirth.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-E

Explanation:

The soft cheese like Camembert, blue cheese and feta cheese are prepared from the unpasteurised milk.

Since the milk is not pasteurized therefore there are higher chances that the prepared cheese will have the micro-organism which could be lethal to humans like Listeria. Listeria is a bacteria which gets killed during the pasteurization process.

The pregnant woman should avoid eating the soft cheese as the cheese could contain the harmful bacteria like listeria which once ingested can enter the placenta and can kill the unborn babies or preterm delivery.

Thus, option-E is the correct answer.

Research appropriate treatment for bacterial meningitis and describe a comprehensive plan to treat those affected as well as pre
Andrej [43]

Treatment

Meningitis is an infection of the membranes, meninges that surrounds and protects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord). Bacterial meningitis must be treated immediately with intravenous antibiotics and sometimes corticosteroids and, of course, the antibiotic depends on the type of bacteria causing the infection.

Prevention

First of all, to prevent the spread of bacterial meningitis it is important to practice good hygiene, such as frequent handwashing. Since the factors that increase the risk include spending time in communities (school, campus or college) because it spreads easily, children should be aware and vaccinated. As several types of bacteria can cause bacterial meningitis, a range of vaccines is wide (e.g. meningococcal vaccine, Hib vaccine).
